Televison Services

The Connected Home is proud to partner with a variety of companies to offer you a variety of options for TV services at competitive rates. Give us a call to learn what company may best meet your needs.

Options in the Twin Cities area:

Satellite Television. DirecTV and DISH round out your choices for this type of service. We prefer DirecTV over all other services. We feel they offer the most programming for the money, and the most advanced technologies available. When we design home theaters for our customers, we will always use DirecTV if possible.

Traditional Cable Companies. They still offer a great variety of programming, although not always as much HD content as the DirecTV or DISH. They have great On-Demand offerings.

"Over the TOP" set top box services, such as Hulu, Netflix and AppleTV. Lots of great original content and flexibility. Usually, you can save money with these services, but be careful. Some of our customers have discovered that when they add up the cost of using 2-3 of these services, it can start to approach the cost of cable tv, so shop carefully, and really access your needs with each service. NetFlix and Amazon probably offer the most value for most customers, but there are a lot to choose from.

Antenna TV. Did you know that you can tune in almost 40 channels with a properly tuned antenna on your rooftop? The HD quality of antenna service is fantastic and it's free! But it's lacks content and requires a TIVO box to use with a DVR (which costs around $20 a month). We offer an antenna tuning service, so if that is the direction you wish to go, we highly recommend calling us to look over your options.

Centurylink PRISM TV. Centruylink is launching PRISM TV here in Minneapolis, and in some suburbs in early 2016. It has a standard selection of channels, and good HD content. Also, all the boxes are wireless, which can be ideal for some homes. It also give you a lot of versatility. When you bundle it with your DSL service, they usually offer decent discounts.
